Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden

Process

The interview process was as follows:

  • A short interview with a recruiter, approximately 30 minutes. This was mostly for introductions and presenting my background.
  • A reasoning test and a take-home code assignment completed in Kattis.
  • The first round of technical interviews consisted of live coding, system design, and a behavioral interview (these could be done in a random order). Each interview was about 1 hour.
  • A team fit and manager interview where I met the team and manager(s) I might be working with.

The whole process was very long and tedious. I applied for a hybrid-work position in one city, but that position was removed. I ended up getting an offer for the same position in another city for on-site work. This wasted about 3 months due to the very long interview process, and they couldn't offer the position I initially applied for. Don't waste your time, especially when they don't live up to the leadership principles they promote.
